yes, because i got hacked before and the hacker deleted me, i was on admin cp and re registered and deleted them, but now my old site has no root admin so i cant delete the board, not board in sig, this is another one.

they should somehow have it available to email IF to be able to delete the board like on yahoo.net, also apparently some wise crack thought it funny to make it everytime i type in invisionfrees counterpart Removed to put it as yahoo!, lol


Yeah, it's called a word filter, put in by the Admins because of previous advertising.
Do not bypass the word filter again or you'll be issued a warning.

Well, firstly, if you practice good security habits, there's no way you or your forum can be "hacked", so you shouldn't have to worry about ways to fix such a situation, but if it does happen, you can request a restoration.
Adding something like this might help a handful of people, but would decrease security for everyone else.

Only the Admin (ROOT) group is ROOT. You cann't create another admin group with capabilities of a ROOT admin. You should create a secondary admin group, as mentioned in the Documentation.

For some reason, I got an IPB 2.0.4 board jacked from me by a hacker not long ago. Only one admin group is actually ROOT.
